In this Live Lounge interview, Jim Wadsworth, chief revenue officer at Invela Network, and Adriana Vega, chief executive officer at Fintechs Canada reflect on the conversations shaping Open Banking Expo Canada 2026. They discuss why now is a defining moment to accelerate Open Banking and consumer-driven finance in Canada, and what makes this phase of progress feel materially different from years past. Jim and Adriana also share their key takeaways on what still needs to be delivered as Canada enters a build year focused on liability and monitoring, the role both government and the private sector must play in educating consumers, and what’s driving real momentum across the fintech ecosystem.
